RIP: Knut, the beloved Berlin Zoo polar bear, was found dead in his enclosure this morning by keeper Heiner Kloes. He was 4 years old.
Knut, the first polar bear to be born at the Berlin Zoo in over 30 years, was adored the world over, appearing on magazine covers, spawning a line of toys, and bringing zoo attendance to an all time high.
Cause of death remains unknown at this time.

Unfortunately I don’t have any real friends that live in Japan so the first thing I thought of when hearing of the awful, awful tragedy there was internet royalty.
Tumblrs, keep your eyes peeled to Soup, Daily What and Google Crisis Response for the latest news curation. And give a little hug to Japan via a donation to the Red Cross.
Since Lyla’s containment chamber is pretty light and mobile, yesterday we came home to an escaped patient with quite a litter/food/water mess.
To help keep an eye out, I’ve set up a UStream to check on Lyla and her setup throughout the day. Currently she’s crying but hopefully she’ll sleep soon. Makes me so sad.
Lyla has been limping for a week so we decided it was time to get it checked out. She was such a good girl while the vet poked around and turns out, she’s done something to her shoulder.
The vet gave her some pain meds to help her calm down but also ordered for her to rest for 2 weeks. Despite her injury and hopping around, Lyla hasn’t slowed down one bit and has been jumping up and down from her favorite spots (on top of bookshelves, doors, refrigerator, etc).
So in order to help her recover, we had to confine her to this pop-up crate thing. Doesn’t she look so sad? It’s pretty comfortable though!

RIP Samantha Reeves, one of our beloved family cats. She lived a ripe 17/18 years and grew up with me (along with her sister, Tabitha, who died a little earlier this year). She was always patient and allowed me to dress her up and push her around in a basket in baby carriage when I was an annoying kid. I hope she’s reuniting with Tabitha in kitty heaven right now!
